Thanks in a bag

Happy New Year everybody - well it will be in a few hours! I have been crafting with some of my new stash today. I didn't get much crafting stash on Christmas day this year, but I got a few bits through my advent calender from hubby, and one of the bits I did get on Christmas Day itself was a gift box pad from The Works.

So I used the pad to make the bad - added some ribbon from DoCrafts Botanical range and then die cut a fancy oval using a Spellbinders die, and the sentiment was from a tonic studios labels set of dies, but I used the inverse of the die to get just the letters. Here is a close up:

The
parents of the famous Angel children are found dead in their bed. The
first their daughter knows of it is when the police are knocking at
the door. The story is written from the perspective of said daughter,
Tandoori, who is the ‘brainy’ one of the family. The Angel
children are often referred to as sociopaths, and Tandy decides to
take matters into her own hands to find out who murdered her parents,
even though she believes it could well have been herself. The truth
could break the family apart, or it could pull them closer together,
but the truth needs to be exposed so that justice can be served,
especially as Tandy knows this is what her parents would have
expected.

This
is a very interesting story and is very well written. However, there
are a lot of pathways that are opened up, but not fully explored,
leaving questions unanswered that seem to be quite important to the
narrator. However, the truth is not too difficult to guess at, but is
uncovered in a very unusual way. It is a good read, but like I said
just leaves a few too many questions unanswered. After googling Tandy
Angel it does appear that there is a series based around her, and so
this may explain these questions, and I may need to see if I can get
hold of some of these books.

I also have some more of my Christmas decorations to share with everybody!
